Because science was not advanced enough
to detect and measure 6th and 7th sense energy fields, such phenomena
was illegitimized as paranormal, and even ridiculed. Slowly, as cited
by supporting articles found on Collective Evolution, this is beginning to change.
Intimately intertwined within the
commonly accepted five senses our body uses to collect information about
our external world lies the uncharted territory of our metaphysical
world containing extrasensory perception and our chakras.
It’s only recently that our sixth sense has come into humanity’s
collective awareness. But did you know you have a seventh sense?
It is Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) who is
credited with the classification of the primary five sense organs:
sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. These sense organs contain
receptors for specific stimuli that are connected to your body’s nervous
system which then sends data to your brain, providing you with useful
information about your physical/external world. But what about your
essential/internal world?
Buddhists consider the mind to be a
sense organ in addition to the five senses. Simultaneously processing
the collective data of the first five senses, the mind becomes a
gateway, making an exponential or fractal leap to a broader spectrum of
perception that includes your internalsensory system. This extrasensory system has been referred to as the psychic realm.
Because science was not advanced enough
to detect and measure these energy fields, such phenomena were
illegitimized as paranormal, and even ridiculed. Slowly, this is
beginning to change.
Our sixth sense has been feared and
revered since humans were a much more primitive species, depending on
what period of history you had the (mis)fortune of being born in. If you
were lucky enough be born into a Native American tribe, you may have
been recognized for your inner genius and exalted as your community’s
shaman.
But, historically, for the majority of
those unacquainted with their internal guidance system, or those subject
to culture and conditioning that only recognizes external power
sources, much fear-generated misinformation has been disseminated over
the centuries, leading the unfortunate to societal ostracization and
even death.
Even in modern times, there is still
very little information that can be called qualitative. And, to add to
the mystery, a seventh sense is coming to light as humanity continues
its evolution into higher forms of consciousness.
BEYOND SPACE AND TIME
The difficulty for scientists in
collecting empirical data is that the sixth and seventh senses function
outside of space and time. The difficulty for non-scientists is that
much outlier phenomena is still accredited to external forces or
entities—channeling, spirits (good or bad), extraterrestrials,
etc.—rather to than to the anomalous experience that is actually
happening within.
Sixth sense experiences range from
intuition, déjà vu, prescience, to past life parallels. As our conscious
mind is always trying to create a linear story out of our experiences,
we tend to look for cause and effect to explain a multi-dimensional
event. When our mind can’t make two and two equal four, we call it a
coincidence.
To demonstrate the complexity contained
within your senses, there isn’t even scientific agreement on the number
of senses because of differing definitions. Wikipedia states that the senses are divided into the exteroceptive and interoceptive.
Exteroceptive includes the traditional
five while interoceptive senses perceive sensations in the internal
organs neurologically linked to the brain for the purpose of regulating
bodily functions, i.e. regulation of respiration, the sensation of
fullness, blushing and more. Add to these sub-groups, the body’s
awareness of balance, pain, temperature, pressure, which are derived
from the synthesis of multiple senses.
Some “sense” can be made of all this
when you understand that your primary senses are inseparable from your
chakra system. Chakras are multi-dimensional vortices of energy, as
levels of consciousness, resonating at specific frequencies that also
line up with the notes on a musical scale. Chakras act as an interface
between the dense physical world and the non-physical world of pure
consciousness. There are seven notes in a musical scale, seven chakras,
and you have seven senses.
BYPASSING YOUR PHYSICAL WORLD
While your sixth sense utilizes your
feeling body to inform you when your intuition is on or off target, your
seventh sense is your doorway to the Universal Self via Unity
Consciousness. Bypassing physicality, it is direct access to all
information contained within the entire Universe—relative to your
physical world. No intermediary or channeling is involved. It has been
called the Akashic records by some, or the Hall of Records. Another term coined by this author is The Universal Library.
How
do you know you are accessing your seventh sense? Every human being
intermittently uses his or her seventh sense, but most do so
unconsciously. You are using your seventh sense when you ask the
Universe a question and receive the answer as your own thought with such
clarity, there is no doubt. It is pure knowing.
You could have recently used your
seventh sense for something as inane as walking into an unfamiliar
grocery story, wondering where the balsamic vinegar was, and allowing
your feet to carry you directly there without questioning why “left” was
the thought.
You cultivate your seventh sense when you consciouslymake
use of all the resources available to you in the Universe. Quite
literally, nothing can be hidden from you by any part of Creation—past,
present, or future. All you have to do is tap into your seventh sense
and inquire.
This happens by sitting quietly in
contemplation—or remaining in a state of open wonderment. The wonder of a
child is still contained within you, as you, and is a gateway to
greater knowledge. In reality, all of life is a gateway to higher
consciousness or enlightenment—Self-Knowledge.
Want to know how the Universe works? Or
mankind’s true history? Ask! The information will flow to you at a level
you can understand, the spectrum broadening when you are capable of
going deeper. Be advised the information is relative to the physical
plane as a more comprehensive version of reality, but is by no means
complete. No human nervous system has the capacity to contain the
totality of light.
As a fun exercise, if you’d like to go
deeper using this article as a jump-off point, then contemplate that
there are really twelve notes in a musical scale if you include the half
notes, twelve chakras in the body, and the exponential/fractal leap
from the individual human is the twelve archetypes commonly referred as
the twelve tribes!
Are you able to recognize when you are
using your seventh sense? Pay attention throughout your day, cultivating
greater awareness until your seventh sense becomes inseparable from the
rest of your senses.
